Seoul, South Korea: Food-trippin’ at the Namdaemun Market

For such a huge place, we had quite a hard time finding the entrance to Namdaemun Market, which does not make sense as I think about it now. But from what I remember, we were simply just overwhelmed by so many buildings, signs, and people all around, and I guess we just weren’t alert enough. But we did manage to get there, and had a look at Namdaemun Market at night.  Continue reading “Seoul, South Korea: Food-trippin’ at the Namdaemun Market” →

Seoul, South Korea: The Ddong Cafe (Poop Cafe) in Insadong

Coffee shops everywhere have truly evolved that I’m no longer surprised when someone used “old school” to describe the likes of coffee giant Starbucks. Even here, in my town, coffee shops have ceased to be places that merely offer a selection of coffee-based beverages. They now sell experiences revolving around a specific concept, from the weird to the fantastical, from the whoa to the duh, and so when I heard about poop-themed cafes springing up in this or that city, it was not surprising at all.

Seoul, South Korea: The Innisfree Cafe in Samcheongdong

If I had the luxury of time and money, I’d love to go back to Seoul and do a cafe tour, hopping from one coffee shop to another. Never mind that I’m not much of a coffee drinker, I’d just do it for the aesthetics, because have you seen Korean cafes? Especially the concept cafes? Describing them as “instagrammable” will be understating it, because of the overall experience they provide. On top of my list would have been the Innisfree Cafe.

FoodVentures: Foodtrippin’ in Jeju, South Korea

It’s been a while since I posted anything related to food on my blog. Even my monthly foodventures posts stopped, and I’m not quite sure when I’d be able to get back to it. I do miss posting about food, but I tend to go to back to the same place repeatedly if I liked it, so it doesn’t make sense to keep blogging about the same food place, don’t you think? This time, though, I just have to talk about the few foodventures we had during our trip to Jeju, South Korea more than several months back.

La Trinidad Eats: Kafe Gipas

Wow. It’s been quite a while since my last post. November was pretty packed, you see. First, there was the Bontoc-Sagada trip, followed by an annual convention at PICC, with days of work in between. And, afterwards, “mouse finger” happened. Seriously, though, I’d pick sore muscles and even aching legs over the pain on my right index finger ANY DANG DAY. Still recovering today, actually. Acupressure ball’s been my best bud lately. But enough of that, and let’s talk food!

October 2017 FoodVentures: Beans Talk, Kobe Cafe, Zax’s Chicken & Waffles, Kafe Gipas

October has come and gone. Another month more and it’ll be time for feasting and binge-ing on all those Christmas treats.  Part of me looks forward to how the spread would look like, although I dread potential difficulties in fitting into my work uniform, haha! But, let’s not worry about that yet, shall we? For the month of October, I’m bringing you to four places to eat in Baguio City and La Trinidad.

La Trinidad Eats: The Loft (J’s Loft) Restobar

Whenever I do my daily commute to and from work, I am usually engrossed watching or reading something on my phone, I am barely aware of what’s happening. Well, except for lifting my head from time to time to check where I am, and making mental calculations how many more minutes I’d need to be on the road before I make it on time for work. So I was not aware at first about the existence of this restobar at Km. 5. It wasn’t until several months ago that I heard of it, and just a couple of months ago that I finally got to personally check it out. It’s called The LOFT Restobar.

Time for RECESS Resto/Cafe

It appears that new restaurants, coffee shops or food kiosks/stalls spring up around Baguio City, and the central business district (CBD) area is not an exception. Every time I find myself walking up or down Session Road, I only have to lift my gaze up and see a new sign advertising the fact. On one of those walks, I spotted a sign that said RECESS, and so I made it a point to check it out, by myself at first, then with company the next couple of times.

September 2017 FoodVentures: LaBrent Tea, Patch Cafe, Recess Resto, Pine Country Steaks & Waffles, The Loft, Sinner or Saint

While I was going through my albums for this FoodVentures post, I realized one thing: I kinda ate out too much this last month of September. And went to a couple of places more than twice. Tee-hee. No regrets, though.

August 2017 FoodVentures: Sweet Stop, Ze Creamery, RnB Cafe, and a certain baby shower…

First things first. HAPPY 108th BIRTHDAY, BAGUIO!!!! Why did you have to be soooo rainy, tho? Ok. Let’s get down to business. If I’m going to be completely technical about it, my August FoodVentures would be much much longer, considering how I was in South Korea for the last week of the month. But those foodventures deserve their own post, which is why I’m just going to be adding here the few ones I’ve had during the first couple of weeks.

FoodVentures: Foodtrippin’ in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam

Guys, I’m… pretty sure I’ve come to the end of my Vietnam travel post series. <insert wistful sigh here> It was a relatively short trip, but I think we did a good job of packing as much as we can into those few short days, from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh, without killing ourselves. And what better way to end it than with FOOD? Believe it or not, my first gastronomic encounter with Burger King was in heated Saigon.  Continue reading “FoodVentures: Foodtrippin’ in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam” →

June 2017 FoodVentures: Ling Nam, BrrrGrrr, Canto, Sage

“Where to eat in Baguio?” is a question oft asked that, in hindsight, makes me want to scoff a bit. Several years ago that question would have made me pause and think hard for a while, because there aren’t too many options. At present, however, that question would still make me pause, but for an entirely different reason: it’s because there are simply too many options, you’d have to weigh them and choose a real good one. Funny, too, because at every turn, you’d find a place to eat.
